I'm sorry, I'm only a very casual fan, and tune in to raw every once in a while when I can remember... but why is it so many clamor for Ziggler? Looks like a complete douche to me, is he considered a very good tactician or something?

Again I'm a casual fan so don't attack me lol

He's solid in the ring. Great bumper, makes other dudes look good. I don't think he has a strong offense though.

Dont know why Big E Langston is IC champ, and Jack Swagger as the challenger.

Not hard at all to make that title relevant again. Especially now that the Big Gold belt is unified.

Is it at Full Sail? I have a friend out there and would love to visit him and catch an NXT event.


It is in fact at Full Sail. It's a few minutes from me and I go to every taping. Would be cool to have a fellow realgm'er drop in.

To add on to this, Ziggler closely resembles an early 90's Shawn Michaels. He's really fun to watch. Also, his promo ability is really overlooked since most of his promos don't air on tv and are only shown on the WWE App.

Yeah, I finished there at the end of 2011.

That's cool stuff man. I used to stay down the block from the main campus at seabrook on Semoran.
Contemplating moving back down there. Easy living.

NXT was the smartest thing Full Sail could get involved with. Especially with the WWE network about to broadcast all showings live.

that was a great ending leading to Elimination Chamber! i love that they arent just building up for the chamber match and that they included the wyatts and shield in the ending. I have a feeling that in the sheild match, they will turn on each other and lead up to a triple threat at mania. you can tell that after Roman Reigns defeated Mark Henry, Ambrose got jealous that reigns won and he lost last week.

im also wondering what each member of the sheild will wear as their wreslting attire when they leave the shield lol its weird but that is a big part of wrestling lol and i also think that after the shield breaks up, Ambrose should find two other people to be in the shield so that it can clearly become his group. I heard that Mason Ryan was supposed to come back and take Reigns' spot in the shield, thatd be pretty cool.

I think we will see Ambrose "inadvertently" either distract or hit Reigns which causes Bray to pin Roman. Next night on Raw, Ambrose rags on RR about taking the fall which either leads to stronger animosity between the two or Reigns just turns on them right there.

As far as the attire goes, I'd actually keep Reigns in the gear he has now and have him keep "believing in the shield". Ambrose somehow aligns himself with the Authority, and Rollins could be paired with either guy as I think fans could get behind him if need be.

I ve never understood the whole shield thing... Are they just three guys that come out to beat people up when they think something unfair is being done? How did they get started

I loved RAW last night. Bryan vs. Christian, Cesaro vs. Cena and Ortn vs. Sheamus were all really good matches.

By the way, I'm a Raptor fan that came to your board just to see your guys' reaction to the Lowry rumours and noticed this WWE thread.

I'm laid up in the hospital for a day and decided to actually kill some time by skimming through all the pages in this thread. Love the conversation that takes place here. Keep it up guys. I'd even go as far as saying this should just be the Wrestling thread for the whole website!

What's the odds that CM Punk returns at Elimination Chamber & helps Daniel Bryan win the title, setting up the CM Punk vs Triple H storyline? WWE network premieres the next night.

I wish another Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart would come around. Those two had the best in-ring chemistry imo and their real-life hatred for one another made it even better. I hate that Bret left for WCW because they should have had a few more matches

Plenty of guys on the current roster could wrestle at a comparable level to those guys if given a chance. They can tell a story too.

Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Antonio Cesaro, Dolph Ziggler, Sami Zayn

All 7 of those guys have the total package.
